[quote=Edchris177][quote=venen]. I've been told to use a marine bottom type paint product, as it will be in the water,
(only for sailing, otherwiise on land).[/quote]
You do not need “bottom paint”
That product contains powerful anti growth compounds,(at least the older copper infused products did), that prevent marine growth such as algae from gaining a foothold on submersed areas.
Your boat is only in the water for maybe a day at a time, then dry stored. You will not see the issues bottom paint was made to prevent.
All of the high quality products are expensive, but even more so when purchased in small quantities. Often you can buy a gallon for only a little more than 2 quarts.
I have to ask, why do you “need to paint” the bottom?
If you are on a tight budget, clean it up & wax it. A quart, or less of high quality product will do your entire Sunfish for a few years, at less cost.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Dec 12, 2019 - 10:14 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
